Off the Beaten Path Bookstore

Too popular to be called a hidden gem(宝石), this Arizona jewel recently celebrated its 50th anniversary. It first opened in a 500-square-foot space in 1974. It hosts author events and poetry discussions, and offers a trade counter where customers can bring gently used books for store credit.

The Last Chapter is an all-romance bookstore in Chicago that opened in 2023. The store hosts author events along with community mixers like Blind Date with a Book, where you wrap one of your favorite books and “trade” it with a fellow book fan in the hope of finding a new favorite and a new friend.

My family have collected bottles from sunrise to sunset all year long. My mother leaves at dawn to collect cans, and when she returns 12 hours later, I help her pull the shopping cart to the recycling center through the streets of Bushwick. I have kept it a secret all the time. I couldnt bear the idea of my friends knowing our family live off other peoples garbage. I felt guilty for being embarrassed, but I couldnt help it. I was not ready to trust someone else.
Then I took a college essay course, which required me to write an essay about what had the greatest impact on my personal growth. I chose to write about the impact my neighborhood had on me. At the end, there was just one sentence about can collecting.
One day after class, my teacher asked me to discuss my essay draft. “Your story has potential; however, it is not about personal growth. Would you tell me about the can collecting?” So I was faced with sharing my secret. But he was my teacher and I trusted him so I rewrote the essay.
Two days later I found out we were expected to read our essays out loud after lunch, and I felt ashamed that my peers would know. As I headed down to the cafeteria, I met up with a friend, Mason, who I always have lunch with. I was less talkative, and Mason found that I had something on my mind. I told him I was embarrassed about my familys story. “You should be proud that your family are struggling to take care of their loved ones.” This was what I needed to hear and I felt like I could finally breathe after all those years of hiding a part of myself.
When we got back to class, I felt ready to read my draft out loud. After my classmates listened to my story, they said things like: “Each of our stories is unique to our experience and shapes us.” “Your being ashamed only hurts you.” “Accept your home and community, because they are your true family.”
Now, when people ask me what my parents do for a living, I tell them, not with embarrassment or shame but with pride, that my parents are can collectors.
24.Why did the author mention can collecting very briefly in his essay?
A.To highlight his family story.
B.To hide his long-lasting secret.

25.What advice did Mason give to the author?

B.Show greater love for his family.
C.Form the habit of talking more.
D.Treasure his familys struggles.
26.How did the classmates respond after listening to the authors story?
A.They gave some criticism. B.They showed great pity.
C.They expressed thanks. D.They offered persuasion.
27.What caused the author to change his attitude towards his family secret?
A.Masons encouraging words.
B.Taking a college essay course.
C.Reading the essay aloud in class.
D.His teachers guidance on the essay.
C
In a clinical trial with 80 adults, a team of researchers found that sleep extension reduced energy intake and resulted in a negative energy balance in real-life settings among overweight adults who habitually reduced their sleep duration (持续时间). The findings appear in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
Obesity is a major public health concern. Much evidence suggests that sleeping less than 7 hours per night on a regular basis is associated with adverse health results. Particularly, insufficient sleep duration has been increasingly recognized as an important factor for obesity. However, it remains unknown whether extending sleep duration can be an effective strategy for preventing obesity.
The clinical trial involved 80 adults aged 21 to 40 with a body mass index (BMI) between 25.0 and 29.9, and habitual sleep duration of less than 6.5 hours per night. The study was conducted from November 1, 2014 to October 30, 2020. The participants were able to increase their sleep duration by an average of 1.2 hours per night after a personalized sleep counseling (咨询) session.
Overall, participants who increased their sleep duration were able to reduce their calorie intake by an average of 270 kcal per day—which would translate into roughly 12 kg of weight loss over three years if the effects were maintained over a long term.
Ultimately, the researchers hope to examine the underlying (潜在的) mechanisms that may explain these results, and believe their work should encourage new, larger studies on weight control to determine if extending sleep duration can support weight-loss programs and help prevent or reverse obesity.
“In our earlier work, we understood that sleep is important for appetite regulation,” Dr. Tasali said. “Now weve shown that in real life, without making any other lifestyle changes, you can extend your sleep duration and eat fewer calories. This could really help people trying to lose weight.”
28.Whats the new finding of the research?
A.Sleep extension can lead to weight problems.
B.Extending sleep duration helps reduce calorie intake.
C.Controlling energy intake is the key to losing weight.
D.Overweight adults often decrease their sleep duration.
29.Whats the probable meaning of the underlined word “adverse” in paragraph 2?
A.Harmful. B.Unique. C.Lasting. D.Apparent.
30.According to the text, the subjects of the study .
A.usually slept 6.5 hours per night
B.were 80 adults of the similar age group
C.got advice on sleep tailored to themselves
D.were particularly chosen from a certain place
31.What do researchers think of the study?
A.Its results are hard to explain clearly.
B.It lays a foundation for further studies.
C.Its unreliable with many factors ignored.
D.It has solved all the puzzles of researchers.
D
Recent research challenges decades of belief about money and happiness. While past studies claimed wealth weakly affected happiness in rich nations, new findings prove that income comparison powerfully shapes joy. The key is “relative wealth”—feeling richer than others brings more happiness than high income or education alone.
Researchers analyzed 357 global surveys covering 2.3 million people. Participants ranked themselves on a 10-level “status ladder (地位阶梯)” comparing their position to society. Results revealed social comparison drives over 70% of moneys impact on happiness—far outweighing actual resources. “Money gains power when measured against others,” explains lead researcher Dr. Lee.
The researchers also found that the effect of social comparison is stronger in countries, such as Singapore. Resource competition forces constant social evaluation. Yet upward comparison often backfires. As Mark Twain observed, “Comparison is the death of joy.” Having just a little more money than your parents doesnt bring much satisfaction, because nowadays the neighbors are clearly much wealthier.
Critically, economic growth sometimes fails to improve national happiness. Why? The study suggests unequal progress makes many feel left behind despite personal gains. True well-being requires advancing both personally and relatively within societys position ladder. Lawmakers thus must balance wealth creation with fair competition policies.
32.How does the study measure “relative wealth”?
A.By measuring education levels.
B.By using a 10-level status ladder.
C.By researching job satisfaction forms.
D.By analyzing spending habits.
33.Why does the author mention Mark Twains word?
A.To criticize social comparison.
B.To claim historical wisdom is outdated.
C.To emphasize Singapores uniqueness.
D.To indicate moneys declining importance.
34.What can be inferred about traditional economic policies?
A.They overvalue absolute income growth.
B.They effectively use social comparison.
C.They prioritize education over wealth.
D.They ignore resource competition.
35.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Absolute Wealth: The Real Path to Happiness
B.Why Money Fails to Buy Joy in Modern Society
C.The Hidden Power of Relative Wealth Comparison
D.Education vs. Income: New Research Findings

Poetry Writing Tips for Beginners
Poetry is one of the oldest and most respected literary forms. It takes a certain style and skill with words to create a good work of poetry. Here are some easy-to-follow tips on writing poetry:
· 36
Before you start the writing process, you should make sure that you read as many great poems as possible. Take a glance at the works of Neruda, Keats, Whitman, and Dickinson, to name but a few. This does not mean that you should copy their works of course. 37 .
·Choose a specific theme
Like any other type of literary work, your poem will need a specific theme. You cant write a poem effectively if you dont have a set theme. A theme will give your work both focus and a set goal. 38 . It could be about loss, love, hate, greed, etc. Your theme could also be about a very specific event in your life, such as your first love or a broken relationship.
·Read it aloud
During the writing process, it is important that you check how your poem sounds. 39 . However, it may sound awkward or lacking once you read it aloud. So take the time to read your work aloud. Read it aloud after each stanza(诗节). If you want to be more thorough, you could read it aloud to family and friends.
·Polish it up
After you have your poem critiqued(评论), now is the time to polish it up. Take their advice and make changes to the wordplay or word usage. If you see any clunky wordplay in your work, try to smooth it out. Remember that poetry should have a flow, an almost lyrical feel.
40 . However, once you put these poetry tips for beginners into practice, youll be able to create quality poetry in no time.
A.Free your mind
B.Read great poems
C.It may seem perfect when youre reading it
D.Your theme can be practically anything under the sun
E.Learning how to write poetry can be slow-going at first
F.It is still a very satisfying feeling to create great works of poetry
G.Think of them as references that will expand your horizons as a poet

Every child has the ability to learn and grow. Mr. White, an education expert, firmly believes in this. On many occasions, he has been telling a true story of his experiences to many young teachers who have just joined the profession.
Mr. White used to work in a remote high school for several years, teaching literature. He was an enthusiastic teacher and that rubbed off on all the children. A little girl named Meredith impressed him the most. The girl was a very well educated girl with a lively mind, a girl with ambition.
The seventeen-year-old girl always wore a bright smile. However, she suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didnt speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked different and people didnt know how to approach her. Meredith usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “Hi”.
Mr. White was particularly concerned about this student. He hoped that other students could actively approach her, but he never had a suitable opportunity. As a teacher, there were some things that cannot be clearly stated, especially in class when Meredith was present.
In one class, Mr. White gave the students an assignment to recite a poem. He knew that poem was difficult for students to master. Mr. White only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since he knew most of his students wouldnt do it anyway.
In the class, one by one each student failed to correctly recite the poem. Finally, annoyed and half kidding, Mr. White said that the next student who couldnt recite the poem had to do three push-ups (俯卧撑).
To his surprise, Meredith was next! Mr. White was at a loss for a moment, but he couldnt take back what he had just said. After all, Meredith once told him not to give her any special attention.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Meredith used her walker to move to the front of the class.
When she finished, a student asked, “ Meredith, why did you do that?Its not an important assignment!”

24.B 推理判断题。根据第一段可知,作者一家靠收易拉罐为生,而作者一直把这件事当成秘密。由此可推断,作者简短地提到易拉罐收集是为了隐藏他长久以来的秘密。故选B。

28.B 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“...sleep extension reduced energy intake”可知,这项研究发现,延长睡眠时间有助于减少热量摄入。故选B。
29.A 词义猜测题。画线词所在句意为“许多证据表明,经常每晚睡眠不足7小时与adverse健康结果相关”。下文提到睡眠时间不足已被日益认定为导致肥胖的重要因素,由此可知,睡眠不足对健康有害。因此,adverse意为“有害的”,与harmful意思相近。故选A。

33.A 推理判断题。马克·吐温的名言紧随“Yet upward comparison often backfires.”这一论点之后。因此,引用此名言是为了强化“社会比较(尤其是向上比较)会损害幸福感”这一观点,带有对社会比较的批判意味。故选A。
34.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,研究的核心结论是,只关注绝对收入(财富增长)而忽视社会比较(社会公平)可能无法有效提升幸福感。因此文章结尾呼吁政策制定者要平衡“财富创造”与“公平竞争政策”。由此推断,传统的经济政策可能过于侧重绝对收入增长,忽略了社会比较的心理影响。故选A。
35.C 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The key is ‘relative wealth’—feeling richer than others brings more happiness than high income or education alone.”以及全文围绕“相对财富”对社会幸福感的影响展开讨论,可以得出文章的主旨是探讨“相对财富”比较的隐藏力量。C项概括文章主要内容,适合作为标题。故选C。

第二节
◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了秋分这个节气。
56.dividing 考查动词-ing形式。句中已有谓语lies,设空处应填非谓语动词。divide与主语Autumn Equinox之间是逻辑上的主动关系,应用动词-ing形式作状语。故填dividing。
57.longer 考查形容词的比较级。此处是“make+宾语+宾补”结构,连词and连接两个并列的成分,即days shorter与nights 57 是并列关系,因此设空处应用long的比较级。故填longer。
58.have entered 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。设空处在句中作谓语,根据时间状语By Autumn Equinox可知,应用现在完成时,表示“已经进入凉爽的秋天”。主语most of the areas in China表示复数意义,助动词用have。故填have entered。
59.frequently 考查副词。设空处修饰动词drops,应用副词作状语。故填frequently。
60.known 考查动词-ed形式。句中已有谓语is,设空处应填非谓语动词作后置定语。be known as...表示“被称为……”。故填known。
61.villagers 考查名词的数。设空处在句中作主语,空前有all修饰,且谓语动词使用复数形式,因此设空处应用名词复数形式。故填villagers。
62.and 考查连词。此处表示“被带回来并被做成‘秋汤’”,is taken back与(is) made into soup之间是顺承关系,应用and连接。故填and。
63.on 考查介词。stand sth. on end意为“把某物竖起来”,是固定用法。故填on。
64.are 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。设空处在句中作谓语,此处描述的是客观事实,应用一般现在时,主语the day and the night表示复数概念,谓语动词应用复数形式。故填are。
65.the 考查冠词。空后为形容词最高级lowest,设空处应填定冠词the。故填the。
第四部分 写作
第一节
One possible version:
Dear Peter,
Its wonderful to know that your club is hosting a Romantic Poets Sharing Session, and Im more than happy to recommend Li Bai, one of Chinas most iconic romantic poets from the Tang Dynasty.
Living in an era of cultural prosperity, Li Bai traveled across China, drawing inspiration from its landscapes. What makes his poetry timeless is its unique blend of romantic imagination and emotional depth that continues to resonate with readers worldwide.
I believe his works will bring a new perspective to your sharing. Looking forward to hearing how it goes!
Yours,
Li Hua
第二节
One possible version:
Meredith used her walker to move to the front of the class. There was a complete silence in the classroom, and Merediths classmates looked at each other. When she recited, she made a mistake. Before Mr. White could say a word, she threw her walker aside and started doing push-ups. Mr. White wanted to stop her, but chose to stand by somehow. Then the girl stood up and continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.
When she finished, a student asked, “ Meredith, why did you do that?Its not an important assignment!” “Because I want to be like you guys! To be normal,” Meredith said. Silence fell on the whole room and then another student cried out, “Meredith, well done!We are all teenagers! We all get into trouble from time to time.” “Thank you,” Meredith said as a big smile spread across her face. The rest of the students smiled, too. Meredith got only a few points that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade.

First of all, there is a honeymoon stage. Uh, to the visitor, everything seems new and different, including the food, the surroundings and the buildings. And IT produces a feeling of excitement, a desire to look around, to experiment and to explore. The next stage is the horror stage, where the newness wears off and the visitor sees the country from a different viewpoint, and often has a tendency to criticize the country, the life and values of the people. The third stage, we could say, is the humour stage, where people begin to reflect back and laugh at their mistakes in the earlier stages. And the final stage, we could say, is the home stage, where people begin to feel at home and enjoy living in that foreign country.
